The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola (Española) and includes the islands of Beata, Catalina, Saona, Alto Velo, and Catalinita in the Caribbean Sea, and several islets in the Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of 48,730 sq km (18,815 sq mi), with a length of 386 km (240 mi) E–W, extending from Cape Engaño to the Haitian border, and a width of 261 km (162 mi) N–S, extending from Cape Isabela to Cape Beata. Comparatively, the area occupied by the Dominican Republic is slightly more than twice the size of the state of New Hampshire. Bounded on the N by the Atlantic Ocean, on the E by the Mona Passage (which separates it from Puerto Rico), on the S by the Caribbean Sea, and on the W by Haiti, the Dominican Republic has a total boundary length of 1,648 km (890 mi), of which only 360 km (194 mi) is the length of the land boundary with Haiti.

Dominican Republic Import Rules and Duties

Limit of 2000cc and maximum of six cylinders; no ‘luxury’ cars allowed.

Tariffs: The Dominican Republic assesses all imported new and used passenger vehicles (except pick-up trucks) with a flat tariff of 30 percent. Pick-up trucks and other trucks with cargo capacity of five tons or less, buses, bus chassis, and passenger vehicle chassis with engines are assessed the 30 percent tariff but are not subject to the Selective Consumption Tax (ISC). Trucks with cargo capacity of over five tons and their chassis, truck tractors, ambulances, hearses, prison vans, fire-fighting vehicles, and concrete mixers have a ten percent duty and are not subject to the ISC. All other special purpose vehicles have a 15 percent tariff and pay no ISC. Taxes: The Dominican Republic assesses all imported new and used passenger vehicles (except pick-up trucks) with a variable ISC, and an eight percent sales tax. The tariff amount is not included in the calculation of the ISC; however, the sales tax is assessed on the sum of the vehicle’s value plus the tariff plus the ISC. The DR modified the ISC by Presidential Decree #66-94 on March 25, 1994; it is now based on value rather than engine size. The table below explains the rates:

*The percentages in parentheses indicate what the basic tax rate is for vehicles priced at the beginning of each range (using an exchange rate of 12.8 RD$/US$). The second percentage applies to the excess over the beginning value of the range. As an example, a car priced at US $12,000 would be subject to the basic amount of RD $5,625 or US $439, plus the marginal amount of US $600 (30 percent of US $2,000, the excess over US $10,000) = a total ISC of US $1,039.

In addition, the new decree changes the method for determining the ISC. DR Customs officials had been using price lists provided by the manufacturer to assess the ISC; however, this system created certain valuation problems. The new system uses published official list prices for automobiles, instead of price lists supplied by the manufacturer, to determine the value upon which the ISC is based.

The DR does not require import licenses and does not grant motor vehicle imports from any country preferential treatment. The new decree also modified the system for calculating duties and import taxes for used automobiles. Previously, used cars were assessed duties and taxes based on new car values. The new decree depreciates that value base for each model year of a car’s age up to seven years according to the following scale: vehicles one year older than the current model year, 5 percent depreciation; two years older, 10 percent depreciation; three years older, 15 percent depreciation; four years older, 20 percent depreciation; five years older, 30 percent depreciation; six years older, 40 percent depreciation; seven years older or more, 50 percent depreciation. Thus, for a used car two years older than the current model year, the DR will deduct 10 percent from that model’s new car price and use the resulting value as the base from which to calculate the tariff and ISC.

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand is no exception. Caveat emptor – buyer beware – maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor’s lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 100 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Jim you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand’s most trusted dealership and Thailand’s most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand.
